NASA Solar System Ambassador

This Week @ NASA:  "An update on our Artemis I Moon mission, a first for our James Webb Space Telescope, and a new target launch date for the next commercial crew mission … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!"

NASA on YouTube : "Perseverance sends more sounds from Mars, the rocket boosters for Artemis I are all stacked up, and preview of a weekend spacewalk … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!"

What a time to be alive!   As you may have already seen, the Perseverance rover has not only made its way to Mars but has safely landed on the Martian surface last week and is already reporting back incredible pictures, videos, and even sounds! Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

NASA on YouTube: "Our Perseverance rover takes up residence on Mars, the space station’s next commercial resupply mission, and a new date for a commercial crew test flight … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!"

One of my most favorite online resources is the This Week @ NASA segment which is available as an audio podcast and video. These weekly pieces offer a quick look into some of the highlights at NASA for the week.

Hi there! If you're seeing this, then you've probably come across the title "Solar System Ambassador" and are wondering just what it's all about.

Hi there - it's been a while , hasn't it? The last 6 months have certainly been atypical, to say the least. I know the me in February had so many ideas and ventures planned out for how my first year as a NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador (SSA) would've gone - but with everything closed, adapting to our new normal, and a lot of other, greater things to worry about, it all had to take a back seat, understandably.

I am incredibly thrilled and honored to announce that I have been selected as a NASA Solar System Ambassador (SSA) volunteer! A quick note on what that means from the NASA JPL SSA homepage : "The Solar System Ambassadors (SSA) program works with motivated volunteers across the nation to share NASA science and mission discoveries through a variety of events that inspire their communities." I cannot wait to work with my local community to discuss NASA missions, milestones, and technologies! On top of that, I'm eager to see of ways that I can incorporate my other hobbies (3D printing, Raspberry Pi/Arduino tinkering) into my outreach! Stay tuned to see how 2020 shapes up to be a great year! Be well, stay safe, and keep looking up! -- -- -- -- * Isaac Osores * Follow me - @3DAstroGeek - on  Instagram ,  Facebook , &  Twitter * #AlwaysLookingUp
